...freight cars of fresh milk to Army mess halls and post exchanges. At the delivery entrance of Paris' U.S. embassy, at the private billets of American officials, at some 400 service clubs and European restaurants, McLane's trucks roll up with everything from fresh celery to fresh caviar, from pineapple to pretzels. Last week McLane launched his new est project: to convert Europe to the short-order diner. McLane hopes to install his own infra-red cookers in some 6,000 small cafes, thus create a vast new market for his precooked hot dogs, cheeseburgers and U.S.-style...

The toymakers other military friends include NATO's General Alfred Gruenther, Strategic Air Command's General Curtis LeMay, General Omar Bradley, now a Bulova top executive, and General George Catlett Marshall. Even after they leaped into the headlines in wartime, Marx says, he was sure that the generals would be "forgotten like Bliss and Pershing," worried about the generals' financial future. In 1946, when...
